NEFF mission

The mission of New England Forestry Foundation is to conserve New England’s working forests through conservation and ecologically sound management of privately owned forestlands in New England, throughout the Americas and beyond.

This mission encompasses:

• Educating landowners, foresters, forest products industries, and the general public about the benefits of forest stewardship and multi-generational forestland planning.
• Permanently protecting forests through gifts and acquisitions of land for the benefit of future generations.
• Actively managing Foundation lands as demonstration and educational forests.
• Conservation, through sustainable yield forestry, of a working landscape that supports economic welfare and quality of life.
• Supporting the development and implementation of forest policy and forest practices that encourage and sustain private ownership.
